AMERICAN ROOTS UK

All of Worthing Sunshine Radio's 'American Roots' shows are now embedded on this site. They are stored on the 'Radio' page drop down menu

Welcome to the Homepage of americanrootsuk.com Included are plenty of American Roots Music c.d reviews, 'American Roots' radio programme playlists, histories of the Blues and American Roots music, video, tracks of music, gig list for the Brighton area and much more!

I know I've always said I won't advertise on this website but I thought these plectrums/picks may be of interest to musician friends. Each one is hand crafted and unique and if you're interested contact details are via the website link below or the email address.http://www.adambracey.co.uk/bracey75@yahoo.co.uk

For various reasons, one of which is that I'm just not enjoying it anymore, I've decided to give up my radio show. Thanks to both stations mentioned below for the opportunity to inflict my personal taste in music on the public at large over the last, nearly, 10 years.All of my past shows are available on the 'Radio' page drop down menu

This site is dedicated to Alt. Country, Americana, Blues, Folk, even No Depression, call it what you will! In the end it's all American Roots Music! There are and will continue to be c.d. reviews, gig reviews, lists of forthcoming gigs in and around the Brighton area and much more besides! The Histories of American Roots and Blues are based on a series of lectures that I gave a few years ago, with much more to be added to these and with the format gradually changing. The book reviews are likely to be just occasional, time to read much, being at a premium! The radio playlists are self explanatory and as with much of the rest of the content, may gradually evolve. Any feedback/criticism would be appreciated particularly if it is polite and constructive! Hope you find something of interest on the site.

I've been asked several times about old reviews, but decided it was too much hassle to transfer them from myspace to here. Instead, if you click on this link it will take you to www.myspace.com/americanablues where you will find live reviews from the last few years plus a large number of photos that go with them.
